I have to disagree with you. I think the wolf is a great choise for WW, and the bear to

As far as I know, all previous WW has been from african/asian animals, so I think its realy nice to get a european WW to

(And of course, I love wolves )

I don't think it's a european wolf

I like Anna's point of view but the wolf is indeed a North American subspecies as usual in Safari.I don't remember seeing Safari, even in its wild Safari series, releasing basilar species of the European fauna like a red deer or a red squirrel, for example. But this is natural in a North American brand. There are some other WW figures out of Africa,, the bornean orangutan, Asian elephant, tigers, polar bear and giant panda for example.

I agree also that I'm glad Safari isn't putting out a lot of new stuff, so that I can catch up a little on the old. I have the 2012 catalog and on my wishlist for the New Year:

Kristie, you must pick both sables! The Mojo's is our choice, a choice of the members of the forum where you also participated, I guess! Also because they are different subspecies. The Mojo's is a giant sable while the Safari is a common sable! :)

Maybe but a Baribal and a wolf are unusual species among the more exotic WW.

I think those are only conservative options for a North American brand that lives mainly from the home market. But it is nice that there's a brand working with American fauna since others are relatively repetitive choosing American species. :)
